The new Bishop took note of several learning institutions that were founded by the ACK but have since changed hands to the District Education Board.

They include Kisii High School and Daraja Mbili Primary School."We have pieces of land that changed hands, and we don't know who currently owns the same. I am saying this because the Cabinet Secretary for Education is here. We need to think of some of these schools founded by the Anglican Church."

According to Omangi, there was a general feeling that education had stopped being a source of outreach.

"We need to have our children grow and live God. We will recover our lost schools. I appeal for support to build a Technical and Vocational Training Centre in Marani Kisii. This will be a constant reminder of the frames of this day."

The Church, the Bishop said, will focus on taking forward the County and National Governments' agenda.

Archbishop Ole Sapit called on the local Leadership to support the new Diocese in its growth. "We are ready to have the new seed grow with its numbers."

Education Cabinet Secretary Ezekiel Machogu, who represented President William Ruto, said the Government will support various programs undertaken by the Church.

"I have received various requests from the Head of the Church, and our assurance is that we will support the programs. The President is optimistic about Education matters, and it is within our objectives that we fund Technical Education."
